1. Notice for users of the musicTheory program:
1. The program currently does not support flats "b", only sharps "#". Thus,
when inputing notes into the program, please only use "#" (for example:
G# instead of Ab).
2. To build the program:
In the directory called "musicTheory", run "make", then run "./music".
A query prompt should appear ("query?") and you can start prompting the
program.
3. Current functionality supported (will be added in the future):
1. Generate scales from a note (the tonic)
1. Major scale: to generate a major scale, type "maj_scale" followed
by the tonic note of the scale you want to generate.
Example: maj_scale C#
2. Natural Minor scale: to generate a minor scale, type "nat_min_scale" followed by the tonic note of the scale you want to generate.
Example: nat_min_scale C#
2. Calculate the interval between two notes in semitones
Type "interval" followed by the lower note, then the higher note.
Example: interval C B
3. Generate chords
1. Major triad: Type "maj_triad" followed by the first degree in the chord
Example: maj_triad C#
2. Minor triad: Type "min_triad" followed by the first degree in the chord
Example: min_triad C#
4. Find the nth degree of a scale
Type deg followed by the scale name (ex: maj or nat_min), the degree of
the scale you want to find, and the tonic of the scale.
Example: deg maj 3 C# to find the 3rd degree of the C# major scale
deg nat_min 4 D to find the 4th degree of the D natural
minor scale.
